Storage???

+1 on the storage rack... I also built mine the same height as the tailgate so it's very easy to load and unload from the truck. Don't forget to slot the holes in the PVC so that they can flex down and distribute the weight..

Ok cool. What size pipe you using? Is there any padding between the pipe and the hull?

That ain't no garage... that looks like my living room.... I'd post a photo of my mancave but I'd prob get censored... That's a great way to hold a PA, I just don't have the upper body to hang it... I hang my revo and outback like that, leave my PA on the trailer so I can run it in and out if I need the space.

I didn't know it was possible to have garage envy, until now.[/quote]

That's funny, living room, I should have took that picture from the other direction which would have shown the tv, stereo, two adult beverage refrigerators, work benches, and tools. The garage gives me many "legitimate" excuses to step away from the kids and wife and makes for a happy household.

By the way, that hoist system has made life very easy to clean up gear, charge batteries, and store the yak. It also takes little effort to put the straps on and operate the hoist. The hardest part was trusting the engineering. I'm not going to lie, I left the yak hanging just off the floor for a few days before I started trusting the hoist with the risk of dropping it from 13-feet. A drop from that height I think would prove fatal for the Pro Angler, and if it had happen I'd still be crying or at least emptying my adult beverage refrigerators.

Regardless of whether your boat is in the garage or outdoors, give some thought to condensation and mildew. I try to always leave at least one hatch open to prevent mildew.

Here's a link to my system as well if you want to check it out.

I like that system Cd but unfortunately I can't hang anything from ceiling. My roommate doesn't feel comfortable with it and doesn't want to drill into the studs. I'm going to make a rolling cart to sit it on. Does anyone know how big pvc pipe I need for a good fit?

3 inch or 4 inch PVC will work just fine. I used 3 inch.

Railblaza makes great strap storage systems for about $50. Here is mine on both yaks. 1 year of use and I love them.
